Can someone please check/critique my thinking on throw barb in M2017? The short guide is not yet updated...
The new lvl 90 skill Gladiator's Dominance is too good to pass up.
So Runemaster no longer available, so life has to come from somewhere else. Stat points seem the obvious place.
So instead of "enough dex for max block, rest in Strength"... now the rest go in Vit.
So some skills based on Strength will be less effective. Such as Lion Stance - so use Wolf Stance. Also means we avoid the phys resist reduction from LS.
So that means some items might be less effective such as Invictus shield (has Lion Stance boost). What to use instead?
So if true, we now do this:
Max Overthrow, Gladiator's, Spirit Guide, Daedalus.
10 points in Wolves.
Other 1-pointers are Screaming Eagle & Mountain King.
Stampede... maybe some points there?
Rest in Wolf Stance?
Be grateful if someone could say yea or nay to that build - or just say what it should be (and hopefully... why).
